When: Morning

"Ladies and gentlemen, fellow officers, representatives of the press," Jakob greeted from the podium he'd been ushered into by the sound of light applause, "I will keep my statements today brief, believe me when I say that I know how many other things need the time we are spending here today." He smiled curtly for the sea of cameras off in the center and down the front steps of the building, knowing his coworkers were out there in the sea of uniforms even if he couldn't spy any of them specifically.

Who: Arden & Pepper & Open (for all!)
Where: Occam Automotive
When: Noon-times

Arden was standing atop the edge of the fountain, testing the boundaries of her balance; she was leaning forward, one leg outstretched behind her as an arm holding her umbrella reached out before towards the fountain's waterfall. Every now and then, a perfectly horizontal line formed from the tip of the umbrella to the tip of her outstretched foot... but mostly she wobbled around a bit as she tried to figure out what to do with her other, umbrella-less arm.

She was a bit damp. Her hair hung about her, initially beaten down by the off-and-on showers and the less successful balancing attempts. But it was soon dawning a voluminous frizziness that defied both gravity and its own dampness, so ha! Although had she used the umbrella for umbrella purposes and decided that balancing atop the fountain's slick edge was a trick saved for a dryer day, she wouldn't have been nearly as damp as she was. But Arden didn't care. She was decked out in well-worn jeans and an old coat of her dad's, and they were the perfect clothes for getting dirty and causing trouble in. Heck, she practically looked like a street kid in them! ...Except that upon closer inspection it was evident that her clothing wasn't patchy or soiled. Although the jeans she wore were worn they had been recently laundered and a pair of fairly new bright red rainboots gleamed despite the dreary weather.

Who: Maya and open to all attending the ball (open tags and mini scenes!)
Where: The Drake Hotel
When: Evening/Night

Maya stood at the top of the stairs down into the main ballroom of the Drake Hotela nd surveyed the crowd with a smile on her face. The turnout was, of course, impressive. there had never been any question that it would be. She was happy as she started down the stairs. This would make the morning papers - and that was publicility that, okay, the amount she'd spent on this? She may as well have bought it. but she hadn't - not directly. And so the Walker name rose. It was lovely.

She smiled and headed towards the nearest group.

Who: Jackson & Danny, and then OPEN to anyone who fancies gawking at the aftermath, or lurking in the top level of Babylon idk.
Where: Babylon
When: Evening

Jackson hadn't trusted himself to be anywhere near the station after the incident with Paul, and but he hadn't really wanted to go home either, so instead he'd let himself into Jenny's place and slept fitfully on her couch for a couple hours, before waking up around 5.30 and leaving to go on a long antsy walk. It was 2 hours before the drunk tank got cleared. He'd been so fucking aware of it.

Who: Moira and Open to EVERYONE!
Where: Rock Bottom
When: About 8 pm

Who: Jakob and open to Garret and Danny
Where: The police station
When: midday

As always, the station house was buzzing with sounds of life; fresh collars coming in off the streets, muted clanging of cell doors opening and shutting, and the yell and holler of the people who were paid to handle it all. For once, at least, there was a quieter spot in the maelstrom.

who: everyone at the gala!
when: evening
where: the gala

Cheyenne didn't really want to be there. She had to be, of course, there was no way she could get out of it. Her presence was required, because it was her family's deal. The orphanage and all that, the party for it afterwards... She was a girl who loved social occasions, but usually the ones that her family were involved in were really high society ones that were mostly about appearances, not enjoying oneself. Still, she was there, she as talking to people, she was smiling at all the right times, laughing at people's jokes, and generally playing the role she knew she was meant to.

Just because she didn't really like the whole deal didn't mean she wasn't good at it. Either way, the party was in full swing, and there were tons of people everywhere. Time to mingle!
